They all look at each other nervously not sure what to make of you're proclamation. "Just a moment sir! Stay right there"
You see them all huddle up and confer with each other with some gesturing, looking in your direction, and some snatches of loud whispers escaping "never been to the games" "No, Halizthan is one of the new champions" "Do you think he means Lady Tessa?" "What of the others"
One turns back to you "Of course sir! If you don't mind waiting here for a moment we will find you a proper... escort... to ah, suit your station"
One jumps onto a horse and is about to make his way off.
"Sorry for any inconvenience but we've had to beef up security. I'm sure you understand"
"It is perfectly understanable. We could use a stable to keep our horses. Our appretince here Sir Kleesal will be able to tend to our mounts from their." Halizthan says as he motions over to the stableboy, gracefully stepping down from his mount.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Felicity dismounts the horse and hangs two feet over one side of her broom. "Well no point in hiding our identities now (not that it was my style anyway). The name's Felicity Calico, the Great Champion of the Arena!" She holds out her hand towards the guards and positions herself so that she's slightly closer to them as the rest of the group. Felicity casts Zone of Truth (reprepared during the rests over the trip) so that only she and the Guards are hit.
"What's this about beefing up security? What happened?"
"I see, Kleesal is it, very good" you can see that one of the guards is writing in a small book. The guard who's been talking approaches Kleesal "So what's it like riding with Champions? It must be very, exciting" he says still looking skeptical about who you say you are.
Kleesal, very happy to being referred to as 'Sir' happily speaks up trying to act all noble like "It's been very good! They've been training me and they killed some monsters who were attacking our friends! You should have seen it. It was incredible"
"Felicity Calico! I know you!" Then looking embarrassed at his outburst "I mean, I don't know you, but you're the peoples champion! I saw you win last year!" He nudges the guard beside him. "Well don't just stand there you idiot! Let them in!"
The one guard is still studiously writing in his book while the other hops to attention and begins to move the wagon away.
"Have you come to help with the theft at the temple? They say it was busted up real bad and looted, but not of treasure. No one can figure it out. It looks like whoever broke in just took books and stuff"
Hailzthan will stay silent as they are asked about being their to help with the temple. While he would not openly take on another quest if they found more chances to make money and find more useful items then he would not argue.
“J’Anna Moonreaver is my name.” she is actually surprised but relieved at the same time people don't recognize her from the arena. She was never in it for the fame, her 1 and only goal was to train and hone her skills to go back and clean out the corrupt temple keep she grew up in and once again have it a beacon of Tyr's teaching and faith.
Rend would make his way in line as well, his dread helm hanging on his back near his shield as he waits to give his name. The kobold would bounce up and down behind J'Anna, both hands on his spear with the tip pointed up towards the sky as though he was trying to climb up the spear and see how long he could stay there before the spear would start to tip over.
"Thank you mam! And you sir, your name?" The guard would say addressing Rend.
The cart gets moved out of the way and the guard who rode of returns with a better equipped and armored follow. The guard who recognized Felicity turns "Captain, sorry to bother you I believe we have it worked out now. We wanted to make sure they were who they said they were before we let them in, but then I recognized Felicity. Sorry to have disturbed you Captain"
The Captain says "No trouble. Better safe then sorry. As you were" turning to the party he waves you forward "So what brings you to out little city?"
Rend would look up to the man. "My name is Rend... umm.... Rend...... Rend Yatubitz! yeah... Rend Yatubitz is the name! " The kobold would say with a big smile. "You may not recognize me without my helmet" He would say before putting the helmet on and pulling out his sheild and spear before standing in a dramatic pose. "I mean... I might not be the PEOPLES champion but... I think some people like me" He would say before bouncing off behind his companions.
As the captain asks the group what they are doing in town, Rend would blurt out "We are here on an important mission from lady Tessa!" He would say with a large smile.
The studious guard write down your name in his little book.
As you begin walking the captain looks crestfallen for a moment "Ah, I see. I had hoped that you had heard of our troubles at the temple and came to help. A mission from Lady Tessa would, of course, take priority! Is there anything I can do to assist you?"
"Maybe we could do both?!" The kobold would say with excitement. "I mean obviously the mission for the strong and beautiful and charming Lady Tessa takes priority but maybe the person we are looking for is some how mixed up in this mess" Rend would say as he scratches his scaly neck. "We are looking for a cartographer... I would imagine he is somewhat well know because he recently managed to find a location of importance... Do you know anyone like that maybe?" The kobold would say looking up towards the man.
"Yes of course Miss Felicity we can arrange for lodging and I think you'll find we have many skilled craftsmen in the city, although I fear you will have to wait for morning for their shops to open. As to a coroner, the temple prepares our dead. You, uh, aren't planning on killing someone are you?"
Turning to Rend "Yes, we know the cartographer well here. Creos he's called. He's a hard one to miss! He comes for supplies pretty regular. He was here just a week or so ago but has left back home. He lives up in the mountains ya know, being somewhat, uhm, self conscious of his appearance. You think this cartographer has something to do with the missing books? The temple WAS looted 2 days after he left."
"Does he come to town often? If not, how far are the mountains?" she I questions. "For our mission to proceed, it's imperative that we talk to this Creos person."
"Oh and no, I'm not going to try to kill anyone today," she says while smiling and giving a wink.
J'Anna asks one of the guards, "Is there a temple or shrine to Tyr in this city?" Thinking to herself that she prays daily but has not been to an official Temple or shrine in a while and would be nice to favor her deity this way.
Halizthan will simply watch and listen with amusement, nodding his head when Felcity says they need a good place to stay and a bath. "So the man comes regularly but you say he disappeared afte the temple was ransacked?Either way I do hope that the man we need to speak with is not going to be implicated in a crime..."

“Any specific books, that you know of? J’Anna asks.”And why just books?”
Hailzthan will stay silent as they are asked about being their to help with the temple. While he would not openly take on another quest if they found more chances to make money and find more useful items then he would not argue.
The studious guard says to J'Anna "Name please? I have to record everyone entering the city"
The other guard says "Who knows? We have a wager that they were spell books."

"Your finest lodgings and maybe a bath if you would!" Felicity heartily answers.
"Do you also happen to have a coroner, taxidermist, leatherworker....or anyone really that can skin hides from a dead body in this town?"

(I think he left to go home and then the temple was looted if I am reading it right)
